Really odd set up the cabling went from the consumer unit over the fence and into the garage behind supplying lighting and another double socket in 1mm t&e which the owner has been plugging a 13A EV car charging lead into 🙄
A few pictures from today’s encounters
A garden install of consumer unit and double socket🤣(it’s been tripping out the house, wonder why)
and another cable repair job
exactly the same as me!
I’m in Essex, the last two years have been unbelievably busy, all the way throughout lockdown and out the other side, then come May/June time this year work really got slack, the phone just stopped ringing literally overnight,
I haven’t needed to advertise in 10 plus...
I’ve been doing a few Podpoint solo 3 chargers, no rod needed, simple to install and commission
look quite smart, not sure if they are the cheapest
i think the cheap chargers you need to install a rod and deal with the issues that go with it
Hob circuit lost power but all mcbs are powered up on main board, then notice the main tails are split
no way don’t say someone’s put another consumer unit behind them units to supply the hob! No access at all
had to cut a big access panel in the side of the new drawer unit and found it...
The two lighting cables to the left were for cabinet under lighting came out directly below the cable run and also a double socket directly below the two 2.5’s on the right
had a customer call to say she had a kitchen fitter in to fit a new cupboard around the boiler and he thinks he may of hit a cable
So after chopping out two layers of tiles and some dot and dab found this🤣😂🤣
Ha that’s a good one! Must be a manufacturers video
what works are not primarily designed and engineered around cost 🙄
so how much is a CU change going to be now approx?
8-10 type A rcbos, SPD, 12way board with main switch, approx 3 afdds for socket circuits, plus bits and pieces, days...
